If you got fired a few years ago as a fresh junior (for a bad reason), are you black listed at the holding company? Or is it possible to apply at a different agency under that holding company if it's been about years since??

i feel like it depends on the bad reason still

Not a good one but I’ve grown from it

Typically from the whole holding company. That info is kept somewhere and will appear in the system if they go to hire you.

Forever ?

Agreed with AD1. You're probably blacklisted across the whole holding company. If it doesn't take long to apply to the open role, I guess it can't hurt, but I wouldn't be optimistic.

Yeah you’re cooked. They keep that on file if it was a firing vs a layoff. It also does truly depend on the “bad reason”.
I lawyered up against a network a few years ago when I was laid off, and I will never work for them because that definitely got me on the red flag list. The only thing I’m aware of that gets you off the list is a wild award streak.

Yea I have a wild award streak. But waiting 10 years. Sheesh. Idk if I will even be in the industry then. Thanks though!

I wouldn't be quick to assume that information has disseminated throughout a large organization. However, they may call someone and ask about you, and if the reason was exceedingly bad that could be a problem. On the other hand, if it was something that indicated you were immature and you may have gotten beyond whatever the issue was, you could be viable. Might as well apply and find out.

I hear you! Had a similar situation

Dubai people I live in Marquise Square tower and my neighbor is having a party literally every day till 4-5 in the morning- I spoke to him and he apologized and promised to keep it quiet but he didn’t. So I spoke to the security if they can tell them to calm down and the security said that he can’t do anything as it’s the weekend! Is that normal or should they give me a noise compliance and force him to stay quiet after some time.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
